2. B15 Project feat. Crissy D & Lady G – Girls Like Us
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Garage felt like the first UK club music that reached out to women. In a new way, at least. Women MCs came to the fore, songs about women emerged and there was a lot of dressing to impress. There are some pretty unexplained collabs in the history of UK/JA music, and this is probably one of them. Jamaican vocalists Lady G & Crissy D hadn’t done much before (though this tune is a boomshot) but they had the perfect balance, the tune ticked all the boxes – Crissy D’s smooth singing and Lady G’s toasting. Make sure you stay with the track until 2:10 for Lady G’s verse!
